Stabbing in City Heights leaves man wounded

San Diego  A 52-year-old man was seriously injured and a woman was arrested in City Heights Thursday night after a domestic dispute, San Diego police said.

The victim went to visit a friend at a home on 48th Street near Orange Avenue about 6 p.m. and after knocking on the door a woman answered and stabbed him in the neck, police Lt. Kevin Mayer said.

The victim then flagged down a passing car and the driver took him to a hospital where he underwent surgery. Investigators originally thought he might not survive but his condition was later upgraded, Mayer said.

Joann Carter, 52, who is or was in a relationship with the victim, was later taken into custody and booked into jail on attempted murder charges, the lieutenant said.

She is being held without bail and is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday.

Mayer said Carter was upset because the man was apparently seeing someone else.
